Rotating Avi

[aggienaut]

I've got a .avi video from my camera that is entirely sideways .. since thats how I was holding my camera. Is there a simple way to rotate it so its right-side-up?

AVI tends to be a container format, so it could have all sorts of formats in there as the video stream. If you can't easily find out what the video stream format is, what's the make/model of your camera?

Yes.

Most all video software will let you flip, rotate, cut & paste, and add filters to your videos though sometimes you may have to use the "full" versions of the software instead of the free versions. I'd try going here and searching for free software that meets your needs.

There's also a chance that, depending on the make/model of your camera, you can rotate your video directly without having to upload it to a computer. morbid_curious is right about AVI files. If your camera doesn't have the option to edit video, then downloading software is your best bet and you should check which particular format your camera saves into AVI so you can find the right software that handles that sort of file. It's not as complicated as it seems—if you can't find the AVI format, not to worry. It's better than just hit-or-miss on the software you pick to download. If it says it can edit most AVIs then you're probably going to have success.

Dammit just looked at my windows media player, real player, and quicktime and the basic versions at least don't seem to have rotating ability. Man, why must it be so hard to simply rotate a video 90 degrees. d=
